It shouldn't be a surprise that I love Archgoat dearly. Their logo, their over-the-top album titles, the fact that they've been around since 1989...everything about the Finnish war metal act is brilliant - including their new song. Torn from their imminent full-length the Apocalyptic Triumphator (which is set to be released January 25th by Debemur Morti), 'Congregation of Circumcised' ratchets the intensity up ten fold, opening with a volcanic eruption of monstrous guitars and blistering drums that careen as fast as a pyroclastic flow.
Eventually, the band returns to its signature vomitous pace just in time for all chaos to break loose as the song falls in around Lord Angelslayer's gurgled roar, even as a guitar solo - a true rarity in the putrid line of music Archgoat purveys - closes the track off. The overall feel of the song even feels mildly grindcore, coming to an abrupt halt with a howled "LUCIFER" breaking off. Combined with 'Nuns, Cunts and Darkness' (streamable here), Archgoat's newest outing does not seem about to disappoint.
